Just get started.

Do the dang thing, already. No one is going to be great at something on their first attempt, but they're lightyears ahead of the folks that never try. I've been kicking around the idea of blog writing for a good, long while

partly because my therapist encourages writing,

partly because I'm delusional enough to think I'm interesting,

mostly because I want to share the story of our farm

even if the only reader ends up being me. (and maybe my Mom?) I've just been mentally pushing off this project until I'm "ready", until I was sure it could be launched flawlessly. I've brainstormed a ton of themes and scribbled topics on sticky notes. I've taken endless amounts of farm photos for "someday". I've cataloged and calendarized when I'd post things. ...but I hadn't actually done anything - just thought about it. While I've dabbled in writing for work, presentations, advocacy, etc, I hadn't made a regular commitment to reflect on the day-to-day farm grind. Honestly, I wish I would have started when we bought the Back 20. So here's the start. This might not go as planned - but for now, published is better than perfect.
